I was sleeved on February 6th. I'm about 7 weeks out and have lost 27 pounds. I have been struggling a little lately with cravings. I gave in a couple times. I feel like I'm not losing the weight like I should be. Does anyone who had the surgery felt this way?

I was also sleeved on the 6th of February. Now that I've gotten the all clear to start introducing a normal diet I find that I have some cravings as well. I haven't given in because those stupid craving got me into this mess of bad health. I've done 7 perfect weeks of doing it all right and I'm not stopping now. You can do this too. Don't feed your head, feed your whole body good things.

I'm down 31 pounds. Doc says we're right on track. Keep up the good work!

Good luck!

Oh my yes! I was feeling the same way, to the point I actually called the dietitianat the doctors office to make sure I have not done anything to my self. She told me that you will do that. She asked me if I measured my self before, of course I forgot to do that. But I did tell her I can tell I have lost a ton of inches. She also asked me what I started (282) at and what I was the day of the surgery(250). She stated that I had lost quite a bit on my own before hand. Which is normal, she told be that it will fluctuate like this for a while, while your body is healing.

Hi, i was sleeved Jan 31, 2017. I feel as you. Total loss 38.4. 14 pre op counted in that . 2 week stall. I eat what i have been told. No more than 600 to 800 cal. I eas told i should be at 900. Trying to eat every 2 to 3 hours. It's got to come off but after surgery i lost more than 1 lb a day. I think our bodys are like "wait a minute you lost alot of weight quickly, so slow down" LOL. Weight loss is a science that our bodies listen to, not us. Lol

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
